Yasuo Dashes Need X Charges

Braums Biceps·May 9, 2016·10 votes·1,225 views

Yasuo is one of the champions Riot has said "If he's strong, he's busted" basically. Windwall and his Dash most notably. It is incredibly unbalanced for a champ to dashes based on the number of targets in their point and click zone. Why not give it a charge system based on the amount of his passive or based on how much he walks around, or just a general cooldown per charge (think new Taric heal). I suppose the Irelia treatment would be useful too because it only goes on cooldown when she kills a unit. This would actually give you the ability to get away from him instead of him actually catching up to you regardless, because of how minions work.

tl;dr Yasuo dash needs a charge system.

Oh my god, he's not even OP right now. He's weak if anything. You want to limit his only mobility spell, a spell that after using on one target, cannot be used on that target for 10 seconds. Irelia's dash does more damage, heals her and gives mana. Yasuo's is a short distance, has a small cast range and is slower than Irelia's. While it also can be interrupted and quite easily stopped with any form of CC. Seriously dude, you sound like some kid who lost to a Yasuo and can't stand it. He has many counters and his dash isn't even the strongest part of his kit. His windwall you also complained about yet its the easiest thing to bait. I've played so many Yasuo's, whether I'm a ranged mage or someone like Zed I just auto or throw Q's, which he can either let you poke the crap out of him or he uses a spell with a 24 second cooldown that he maxes last. I mean come on man, if you're mad you lost to a Yasuo, learn to play against him rather than complaining about it and asking for nerfs. You are the minority, he hasn't been relatively strong since pre-season.

I couldn't agree more. Too many players come to the boards and cry about "op" champs instead of bothering to learn how to counter or play against them.

You know, it's hard to learn how to play vs Yasuo who keeps dashing around and once at 0 targets he puts up windwall and by the time it ends he starts dashing again and constantly uses Q to keep you the fck away from there

Play a champ with some cc or point and click abilities. He's not a God, he has plenty of weaknesses.

Dashing around yet if its laning he most likely won't have any damage if he maxes E to get lowest CD on dashes, plus a max 7 dashes if its a cannon minion wave with you and he hasn't used dash yet. Therefor his Q is fairly weak, you can auto attack the whole time he's dashing, meaning if he does waste time dashing around every target he's gonna be low hp when he really fights. If he does use windwall then its wasted and you can back off because he's been dashing the whole time and not fighting you. Q doesn't zone at all, you're speaking like you're a zed and need to get close but you can just WEQ combo him and bam, his HP is gone. Like you have no real grasp on how to play Yasuo well or how your idea of a Yasuo in lane is unreal.

that's your own problem then if you can't learn how to play against it

Yes, we want to reduce his mobility spell, which works for starting fights, disengaging, catching up, dashing through walls and it's limited only by the number of targets nearby and impossible to be hit by a skillshot in lane, or even a damn basic attack

Impossible to be hit by a skill shot and not able to be hit by basic attacks, wtf, do you think he has a jax E combined with a small dash (not a blink so any CC can hit him). I've never seen players with a more exaggerated imagination of his abilities. He can't even start fights with it in a 5v5 because he'll get destroyed instantly. He needs to stack Q to really start an engagement because you need CC or a flank to begin a fight.

I think that his W and Q using flow as a resource would be nice. Make his E restore some Flow too, and buff his flow regen, but give his sheild a cd.

I think what would be good for yas is this

His dash now has 5 charge at that refresh 1 charge over 5 seconds marking the target and making you unable to dash on them for 10/9/8/7/6 seconds (.25 second CD at all ranks)

1 Charge instantly refresh if yasuo lands a critical hit against a champion (this stacks from aoe crit effects like Q)

This reduces his early game (in lane) mobility to be a bit more manageable and gives late game a buff due to the target redash timer reduction and if he is actively crusting in enemy champions he will not really see a change to the CD due to constantly being at max charges
